Monday Musings 4/25/2011

• I haven't posted any reviews or garments lately. I need to get with it.
• There's an elephant in my sewing room. You know that project that is just looming so large and you can't seem to get it finished. It's a dress and jacket combo. I really am sick of it. While I usually never move on to another project until the current one is finished...I'm going to have to make an exception...Today!
• I love making cards almost as much as I like sewing. Since I've gotten the Close To My Heart sewing stamp set I've been making tons of card with the sewing theme. Follow, leave a comment AND mention on your own blog for a chance to win a four card set. Winner will be announced Friday.
• I wonder how many people are actually reading my blog.
• The picture I posted with the three children...I'm the youngest girl. My knees still look like that!
• I have the best husband in the world. I recently read a sentiment that said "Marriage is not finding someone you can live with, it's finding someone you can't live without!" Amen.
• Although it has been less than two years, I almost don't remember my life before I got married.
• I remember now...I had breast cancer.
• The youth group at my church is the BOMB!
• There were so many babies crying in church yesterday I almost lost my religion. Do people not know how annoying it is?
• I think Extreme Couponers are nuts!
• They took the stitches out of my knee a week ago. I'm not limping but I think the knee replacement is inevitable. If possible I'm going to try to hold off until February. That way I get most of the bowling season in and don't miss the golf season.
• I worked out today. Upper and lower body. Ask me tomorrow how my knee feels.
• I bought five shoulderettes/shrugs at Dots over the weekend. I should be ashamed of myself because I could easily whip some up on the knitting machine.
• I haven't knit anything on the machine in ages. I'm going to take the measurements from one of the ones shoulderettes I bought and knit some before the summer is over...I promise.
• I bought two pairs of killer heels over the weekend. Even with my bum knee, I will be rocking those shoes like it's 1999! Hmmm. That sounded much cooler in my mind.
• I bought four ITY knits from Denver Fabrics when they had free shipping. I'd better get to sewing.
• Why is it that now that my nails are growing a little, I need to start practicing to go back to the orchestra in the fall. I play violin in a community orchestra. The nails HAVE to go.
• Guess I had more on my mind than I thought.
